Dexcom, i believe, should be the go to instead of accu-checks etc. It works out at roughly €2,500 for a years supply but if you hold a Vhi policy, it should cost you €300 overall. You claim it under the medical and surgical appliance part of your policy. Just check your overall limit on that to make sure you will have all but €300 covered.Hi kitty81,
Hadn't heard about the Dexcom unit before. Just wondering how much they cost as not seeing much on Google for prices? So you think VHI might cover it to some extent on day-to-day expenses?
Thanks.
Have you LTI card?

Again, only my opinion, but we wouldn't be without it now. Highly recommend it .
I have no experience of Libre so my opinion is probably biased based on what I think it offers.Hi kitty81,
Thanks for that info. Just checked my VHI policy and as you thought I am covered for up to €3,000 per year with an excess of €300.
They do mention to check with them for details on eligible appliances.
Is there much difference between the two systems. I was doing a comparison here but obviously its biased because its done by Libre.
@kitty81 are you actually getting Vhi to cover Dexcom? I can’t see any reference to a medical and surgical appliance limit on my policy.
Dishwasher- A glucometer is listed as an approved medical and surgical appliance with Vhi. Yes I've had cover
